Ingredients for 25 cookies:

The small, dry, round chocolate chip biscuit has been a beloved part of French snacks since the 90s, but its history is less well-known. Originating in the United States, this treat was the result of a happy culinary accident in the 1930s. The chocolate chip cookie is said to have been created by Ruth Wakefield, the owner of The Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. Specializing in butter biscuits, she decided one day to add a bar of chocolate, expecting it to blend smoothly with the dough. To her surprise, it didn't, but the new recipe was an instant hit. As a result, Ruth secured a lifetime supply of chocolate from Nestlé!

Method for Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1

Prepare all the ingredients.

2

In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar.

3

Add the egg, vanilla extract (or vanilla sugar), and salt. Mix well.

4

Add the chocolate chips and baking powder.

5

Add the flour...

6

...and mix thoroughly with a spatula until a homogeneous dough is obtained.

7

Place this dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Shape it into a log.

8

Wrap the log in the parchment paper and tighten it with a spatula to form a regular log. Let it rest in the fridge for 2 hours.

9

Remove the parchment paper.

10

Using a knife, cut the dough log into 1/2 cm thick slices.

11

Place these slices on a greased baking sheet. Be sure to space them out to prevent sticking.

12

Bake in a preheated oven (180/200°C).

13

Bake until the desired colour is achieved. The more golden the cookies, the drier they will be.

14

After baking, let them rest for two minutes before removing them from the baking sheet with a flat spatula. Let cool.

Chef's tip:

"If you prefer them a bit chewy with a soft center, I recommend taking them out of the oven when the middle of the cookie is still light in colour."
